What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 20: The Shop Section and the Second Talent

"Sauber! (Beautiful)"

Rangnick was also excited by the sudden goal, and he clenched his right fist and swung it out.

2: 0!

Leipzig will secure their third consecutive victory today!

【Wait, how did we get three consecutive wins? Holy crap, I've lost a fortune!】

[Didn't you guys say Hao Ren was always assassinating fans? How come you're rewarding us now?]

Don't try to guess Mr. Goodman's thoughts; Mr. Goodman will always be great.

[Defensive midfielder, 5 assists in 5 games. I always said Leipzig's previous coach was rubbish, this new coach has completely revitalized Hao Yaning.]

So Hao Ren's template answer isn't defense, but offense?

With 5 assists in 5 games, more and more home fans at the stadium were chanting Hao Ren's name.

Chinese fans watching the live stream were even more wide-eyed, as they witnessed Hao Ren's rise to fame at age 14 and his promotion to the German second division at age 16.

I remember this kid got to play abroad because of his quick defensive support, how come he's starting to play assists now!?

"I told you long ago, trust me, Mr. Goodman. Hao Ren doesn't kill fans anymore, so why don't you choose to believe him like I do? Sigh."

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

As the match ended, Hao Ren and Demme embraced, and Kimmich quickly followed, with the Leipzig midfielder squeezing between them.

"Please, Chicken Bro!"

Hao Ren tried to struggle, but Kimmich grabbed his head and said, "Well done, good!"

"Ha ha!"

"Keep it low-key!"

Hao Ren and Kimmich gave each other a big hug, and then walked together toward the bench.

Rangnick was originally standing in the path the two were bound to take. When he saw that Hao Ren was about to walk over, he quickly pretended to be chatting with Almas to avoid direct contact with Hao Ren.

"..."

Rangnick didn't know why he was avoiding it; he just felt incredibly ashamed of his actions.

"Goodman!"

"Goodman!"

"Goodman!"

The voices of fans could be heard from the stands.

The winning streak has many benefits; compared to the first home game of the season, there were many more Leipzig fans at the stadium today.

They are all calling out Hao Ren's name now.

"call……"

Hao Ren was a little at a loss, because he had never experienced such a scene during his more than one year of studying abroad.

"What are you waiting for?!"

Kimmich didn't stand on ceremony with Hao Ren and shoved him hard, sending Hao Ren straight down from the stands.

"Holy crap, Chicken Bro!"

Hao Ren exclaimed in surprise, turning his head to find that the fans had already gathered in front of him.

"Goodman, I'm a fan of yours! You've got 5 assists in 4 appearances this season!"

"Goodman, please sign my jersey!"

Hao Ren took the marker and jersey handed to him by a fan and quickly drew his name.

The man who received the autographed jersey immediately handed it to a seven or eight-year-old boy next to him, who was his son.

Goodman.

The little boy suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Goodman, you're a defensive midfielder, so why are you getting so many assists?"

The little boy's face was full of confusion.

Unfortunately, what he saw in the past three games did not match what he had learned.

"this……"

Hao Ren took a deep breath: "Okay, actually I don't know either. But... my defense is definitely better than my offense, buddy, you should focus more on my amazing steals!"

"Will you start in the next game?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Ren did not directly answer the fan's question, but instead looked in Rangnick's direction.

"Hmm... I think there's a high chance. See you then!"

……

Overseas Players Column – RB Leipzig secures their third consecutive league victory with a 2-0 win over Eintracht Braunschweig. In the new Bundesliga 2 season, Hao Ren has recorded 5 assists in 4 appearances.

In addition to the overseas study column and Baidu Tieba on Dongqiudi, Hao Ren was also reported by Titan Sports Weekly.

This is a well-known domestic football media outlet. In the article, a reporter from Titan Sports Weekly shared his thoughts on Hao Ren's performance.

"Rangnick has unlocked Hao Ren's hidden offensive talent."

"Hengda's assessment of Hao Ren's role model may be incorrect; Hao Ren is not a pure defensive player."

[Xabi Alonso's Standard Long Pass Template (Intern)]

Proficiency: 148/150

Proficiency: 149/150

[Xabi Alonso's Standard Long Pass Template (Intern) → (Senior)]

Proficiency: 0/300

[Pass: 67→69]

[Vision range: 69→70]

After the match, Hao Ren didn't rest. He found that his proficiency in the long pass template had reached a critical point, so he decisively ran to the training ground near his home to max out his proficiency.

That's one of the advantages of playing football in Germany; if you want to play, you can easily find a place to play.

……

After a quick practice session, Hao Ren returned home and began collecting his rewards for the day's tasks.

You have obtained the Dutch Template Chest (Silver)

The Shop section is now officially unlocked.

Two rewards for one task.

Sensing that his immense power was about to be further enhanced, Hao Ren was now extremely excited.

Let's open the treasure chest first!

[Silver Treasure Chest: 84% chance of obtaining a Dutch player template, 1% chance of obtaining a random talent, 15% chance of obtaining nothing]

Hao Ren originally planned to open the treasure chest first, and then study the so-called shop section.

However, seeing that the probability of opening a silver treasure chest is as high as 15%, I decided to wait first.

Let's check out the new shop section first and see what's available!

Looking at his own panel, Hao Ren quickly found the System Shop on the right side of Talents.

Cristiano Ronaldo's tomahawk-style elevator template

【Price: Contribution Points * 10000】

[Leo Messi's step-back shoulder drop template]

【Price: Contribution Points * 10000】

[Ronaldo's pendulum...]

Holy crap?!

Hao Ren was immediately dumbfounded.

Is he so dangerous he's risking his life?

Hao Ren now has an idea: to buy all the templates in the store, so that he can raise his overall rating to 100 without any surprises.

Unfortunately, he simply didn't have that much money!

[Balance: 100 Contribution Points (New Player Gift)]

[How to earn contribution points: You will earn a varying number of contribution points each time you score a goal, provide an assist, or make a tackle in the German Second Division.]

Left with no other choice, Hao Ren checked the "Price" option and sorted the items in the store from low to high price. He quickly found the two most suitable items for him, both priced at exactly 100 contribution points.

[Random Template Treasure Chest]

【Price: 100 Contribution Points (This price is only valid for one purchase; the price will increase tenfold after each purchase)】

[Random Talent Chest]

【Price: 100 Contribution Points (This price is only valid for one purchase; the price will increase tenfold after each purchase)】

Knowing how important talent is, Hao Ren immediately chose to spend 100 contribution points to buy a talent treasure chest.

You have purchased a Random Talent Chest.

[Product Price Change: Contribution Points * 100 → Contribution Points * 1000]

You have acquired... talent: Future Warrior

[Future Warrior: Passive Talent. When acquiring a template, you have a 50% chance to trigger "Future Warrior." Upon triggering, you will receive an optimized player template from the future, along with some initial template proficiency. Additionally, you have a 20% chance to trigger a template upgrade easter egg; triggering this easter egg will directly upgrade your template quality by one level.]

Player templates from the future, automatic optimization, gain extra initial proficiency... and a trigger probability of up to 50%!

It seems that the second talent I've acquired is quite powerful?

Thinking of this, Hao Ren looked at the Dutch treasure chest he had previously obtained.
